Capital Bond Improvement Projects

Redmond

Project Details

Interior improvements to Redmond Library were completed in January 2009.

Enhancements include new paint and carpet, installation of the complete wayfinding signage package, expanded teen and World Language areas, new circulation desks, new furniture and reconfiguration of the public computer area and the Self Check Out stations. A shelter was installed outside the library at the Self Check In stations, to protect patrons from the weather.

Although the Capital Improvement Plan called for expanded parking at the library, the parking was already expanded when the City Hall moved next door and a joint parking lot was coordinated. KCLS is prepared for further parking expansion if necessary.

Construction photos will be posted as soon as work is under way on the project.

2005

July 2005Meetings are scheduled to discuss short term and long term parking capacity planning for KCLS and the City. The addendum to the Interlocal Agreement regarding the City Hall development in progress and KCLS’ plans for future parking expansion and temporary parking construction needs continues to be discussed.

June 2005A draft of the Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with the City with new changes was prepared and sent to the City staff for comment. The ILA needs to be modified to allow the City of have reciprocal access to the library’s parking and driveway and for KCLS to have the same privilege for the new City Hall parking lot. In addition, when KCLS develops structured parking, temporary parking for the staff and the public will be needed in the new garage structure that the City is building. Staff from the City responded with their counter proposals on the immediate parking changes, but has not been as clear about longer term needs and construction impacts. I am working with Preston Gates & Ellis to develop our response.
